Ingredients:

  • 375g all-purpose flour
  • 25g granulated sugar
  • 6g sea salt
  • 12g baking powder
  • 3g baking soda
  • 360ml buttermilk, room temperature
  • 56g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda for at least 30 seconds to ensure even distribution and prevent bitter spots.
  3. In a separate jug or bowl, whisk the room-temperature buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until the mixture is a pale, uniform yellow.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined; do not over-mix.
  5. Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top slightly.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Wait at least 20 minutes before slicing. The crumb needs to set or it will appear gummy when cut.
